The Asia Model Festival Organizing Committee (Chairman Yang Eui-sik) and Calavinka Entertainment Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeong Gyeong-yeol) announced that they signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on November 3 and agreed to co-host a new program, 'Vibe of Asia (tentative name),' in conjunction with the Asia Model Festival scheduled to be held in 2026.
This agreement aims to expand the scope of cultural content exchange at the Asia Model Festival and establish a joint audition and final festival in 27 Asian countries, including Japan, Thailand, India, Indonesia, and the Middle East, focusing on the K-pop dancing category.
'Vibe of Asia (tentative name)' will be held in the form of representative dancers who passed the preliminary rounds from each country performing on the final stage at High1 Resort in Gangwon-do, and the performances of the winners on the final stage will decorate the finale of the competition.
Kalavinka will host the preliminary and final stages using the AI dance coaching and choreography IP platform 'Audition Me X', and will present a new concept audition system that applies AI-based performance analysis technology and IP data.
The organizing committee will provide networking infrastructure with model-related organizations and groups from various Asian countries, and Calavinka plans to jointly pursue the production of convergent cultural content and global business expansion in the future by combining K-POP content and festival operation know-how.
Yang Eui-sik, chairman of the organizing committee, said, "This collaboration is a symbolic project that brings together Asian youth culture and K-pop, and will mark a new cultural turning point where models and dancers can grow together." Jeong Gyeong-yeol, CEO of Calavinka, stated, "The combination of an AI-based global dance platform and Asia's largest model festival will create a new form of Asian cultural content."
